照顾者负担与患者痴呆有关。在本研究中，我们检验了照顾者负担和抑郁与患者认知障碍有关的假设。我们分析了来自退伍军人医院老年病学转诊诊所的127名老年男性患者的记录。病人和他们的非正式护理人员被转介到诊所，因为他们的问题的复杂性和多样性超出了其他诊所的治疗能力。根据诊断和统计手册（DSM - III）的标准，这些患者中痴呆（73%）和抑郁症（69%）的患病率很高。
Caregiver burden has been associated with patient dementia. In this study we tested the hypothesis that caregiver burden and depression are related to patient cognitive impairment. We analyzed records of 127 elderly male patients from a Veterans hospital geriatrics referral clinic. The patients and their informal caregivers had been referred to the clinic because the complexity and multiplicity of their problems were beyond the treatment capability of other clinics. There was a high prevalence of dementia (73%) and depression (69%) in these patients according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM‐III) criteria.
